Their sound blends humor with heartfelt emotion, creating an invigorating and memorable listening experience. Drawing on the energy of post-grunge, Dirty Brain’s modern yet nostalgic vibe delivers a refreshing twist on a classic sound. Produced by Nick Morzov, known for his work with Blink-182 and Animals as Leaders, their music has been praised by Roadie Music Mag for its "intense and full of fabulous atmospheres that are striking and very original.” Their single, “All Billionaires Go to Space” showcases their signature intensity, complete with a stunning music video directed by acclaimed music video director, Robyn August. Their roots stretch back to high school, where childhood friends Will Schmidt and Ian MacKenzie discovered a shared passion for music. The true vision for Dirty Brain began to take shape, as they collaborated with Philadelphia music scene veteran Paul Buondonno and later recruited Mike Zajac and Aidan Riess. Dirty Brain is more than just a band; it's a close-knit unit committed to offering a unique, powerful, and relatable experience that is impossible to ignore. **About Two Rocks Rye** *https://www.tworocksrye.com/* Two Rocks Rye is an alternative rock influenced group and was created as an acoustic duo by Ben Smith and Matt Walters in January of 2015. After two years of playing small bars and clubs in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania area acoustically, the duo adopted Brian Shaw for rhythm and Brendan Cassidy on Bass Guitar for a more complete sound. We have since released three albums; "Saving Claire" in 2018, "From the Undertow" in 2020, and most recently, “Back to Shine” in 2023. **About Fat Mezz** *https://www.fatmezz.com/* Fat Mezz is a rock band out of South Jersey who, after getting their start in 2020, began playing shows in the Philadelphia area and down the Jersey shore, primarily in Wildwood, NJ. After several years of consistently playing cover shows full time, in mid 2023, they released their first original tracks, a two song EP titled “Fat Mezz Loves Cooter”. Cooter, who’s illustration is featured on the cover, being the bands beloved basset hound. **About Lady White Rat** *https://linktr.ee/ladywhiterat* Lady White Rat is a crushing hard rock power trio hailing from Lehigh Valley, PA. Formed in late 2023, the band’s roots trace back to Kutztown University, where the three members met and fused their distinct musical influences into one electrifying sound. Guitarist Luke Klempner and bassist Chase Klingaman first connected in the Kutztown Jazz Band, bonding over their shared love of metal. That connection eventually led Chase to join forces with Luke and drummer Ashton Tyrell, solidifying the lineup of Lady White Rat. Luke channels the aggression of classic metal, Ashton brings the complexity of prog drumming, and Chase infuses deep funk and groove. The result? A high-energy, dynamic blend of classic metal, prog rock, and alternative music that hits hard and pushes musical boundaries. Whether on stage or in the studio, Lady White Rat delivers raw power, intricate musicianship, and an unmistakable sonic identity. Rising Sun Presents This is a 21+ event
